    So basically some fucking shitty investment company bought the magazine and immediately destroyed it. How sad 151 years and all gone in a blink of eye because of some shitty investors.

    Too bad. I used to love Popular Science. But as time has passed the articles have become far more speculative and fantastical. Same with Popular Mechanics, once a staple of DIY home creations to sucking the military’s dick with MIC dream weapons and UFOs.

    Time for them to die.

      Let’s not talk about Discovery channel either, it went from a history/national geographic channel to 24/7 reality TV.

      Both were staples in my house in the early 90s. I learned so god damned much from popsci and popular mechanics, but holy lord popsci and then popmech got bad.

    This was my first magazine subscription…followed by the original Sonic the Hedgehog comic and WCW Magazine (pretty sure it was called that, black and white newspaper type print). Sad to see them go, I remember the classified ad area in the back was usually interesting/odd.

    I still have 2 magazine subscriptions that are active. I used eBook readers for a few years, but eventually reverted back to physical print for nonspecific reasons.

    It’s nice having a monthly surprise of sorts delivered in the mail that is not a bill or from Amazon.
